RISE!- Avraham Fried, Eli Gerstner & Baruch Levine- Composed by Eli Gerstner, Lyrics by Yisroel Besser- Chizuk Project Single 2020

VERSE 1:
Ever been turned upside down?
Ever felt like you’re underground?
Ever felt so unsure
That you don’t know what to expect?

VERSE 2:
Ever been turned inside out?
Ever felt so much doubt?
Didn’t know what it’s all about,
What comes next?

BRIDGE 1:
So grab my hand, my friend, we’ll walk the way,
Raise your voice, it’s the dawn of a brand new day.

CHORUS:
So much has changed, but this is still the same
The happiest time is after the pain,
You’ve fought the good fight
Cause you burn with an inner flame.
See a new day, through your tired eyes
After the storm come the bluest skies,
It’s time to rise, oh it’s time to rise!

VERSE 3:
Ever fall at the side of the road?
Ever struggle underneath the load?
Look at life like you can’t crack the code
The road ahead is dark.

VERSE 4:
Ever felt that you’re just too small?
Holding on tight, hoping not to fall,
Ever wonder what’s the point of it all
Look inside and find that spark.

BRIDGE 2:
And let it glow, my friend, and show the way,
Raise your voice it’s the dawn of a brand new day.

CHORUS:
So much as changed, but this is still the same
The happiest time is after the pain,
You’ve fought the good fight
Cause you burn with an inner flame.
See a new day, through your tired eyes
After the storm come the bluest skies,
It’s time to rise, oh it’s time to rise!

INTERLUDE 1:
Looking ahead, we’ll keep marching on
Facing what comes with courage and calm,
Take chizuk and hope, hold tight to the chain.

INTERLUDE 2:
The pages are turning in the book above
The One in control is writing with love,
Look to heaven and give thanks to His name.

CHORUS:
So much has changed, but this is still the same
The happiest time is after the pain,
You’ve fought the good fight
Cause you burn with an inner flame.
It’s a new day, through your open eyes
After the storm came the bluest skies,
Let us rise, oh it’s time to rise!
